In this pseudo-sequel to the original Bionic Commando: Elite Forces, you'll play as either the male or female Bionic Commando as you attempt to rescue your comrade Commando Joe from the clutches of the evil overlord Arturus. You must progress through over 20 levels of side-scrolling action with your guns blazing. It's more than just a mindless shooter, however, as you'll have to use the ultimate tool, your bionic arm, if you want to get anywhere. Using it, you'll grab, swing, and climb your way through the lushly colored backdrops. Each character's quest differs slightly, which helps add replay value to this fun title. You'll have to collect a wide variety of items and weapons to complete your mission, including a rocket launcher, assault rifle, flares, and more. Play overhead-shooting and first-person sniping bonus rounds to collect extra items.
